MARKET SHARE: Marvel leads April sales

by Stephen Schleicher

Diamond Comic Distributors have released the first round of market share data for April 2012. Marvel once again climbed to the top, nabbing both the dollar and market share spots. This is interesting because DC Comics placed six titles in the top ten comics sold in the direct market.
